Two Rivers Clos de Pierres Chardonnay 2018, Marlborough
White smoke, toasty, nutty, ripe, complex and quite intense. Aromas of baked stone-fruits and grapefruit, brazil-nut and baked custard, vanilla and crushed river stone. On the palate - equally complex and compelling with flavours that reflect the nose - especially the nut, spices and layers of oak then fruit. A dry wine with a youthful tension, citrus peel, stone fruit, medium+ acidity and fine tannin each adding a layer of complexity and charm. Best drinking from 2021 through 2025+.
